    So the 2013 season is here and it appears we have gained a few new posters to the board. So maybe this is an opportunity to get a better understanding of each other and help keep a healthy community.

    Weather you are:
    - a long standing member
    - a slight regular
    - new to the forum
    - new to the F1 board
    - or looking for an ice breaker to start posting

    so say Hi and tell us a few things about yourself and F1!

    here are some questions:

    1) Which driver(s) do you follow?

    2) Which team(s) do you like?

    3) Which team and drivers have you followed in the past?

    4) What was your favourite moment watching F1?

    5) What was your worst moment watching F1?

    6) What do you do for a living?

    7) Where abouts are you from?

    8) What other interests do you have outside F1?

    9) How did you come about Not606?
